Every person has got some interests and hobbies 
from the childhood which can turn into a major 
activity or job in future. Due to these issues parents 
should focus on interests of their children which 
can play a great role in their intellectual 
grows and development. Whatever 
a person’s interest is it should 
be worked at and developed. 
The 
greatest 
art, 
cultural, 
business, technological spheres’ 
representatives were supported by 
their family members, teachers 
and friends resulting in brilliant 
works in different fields.

Uzbekistan is also rich 
in great people o f science, 
art, culture, sport and other 
social, technical life fields. 
We can name a lot o f 
people whose interests in
this or that field grew into bigger positions. As a 
result their contributions to social development of 
the state were remarkable.
3. Rustam Akramov is a well-known Uzbek football

not only throughout Uzbekistan but in the whole 
Asian football world. Rustam Akramov is often 
called a “ Football Professor”. How could he 
achieve this great respect? As Rustam Akramov 
claims, from his childhood he took a keen interest 
in football. He was so fond o f this game that could 
not help playing, watching, admiring it. These 
childish interests led him to further decision to 
choose football as his future job. After finishing 
a footballer career he could not give up this game 
and started an occupation o f a football manager. 
He managed to win Asian Games Cup in football 
in Japan in 1994 being a manager of Uzbek football 
team.
